Leadership Excellence Awards

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the graduation of Georgia Tech’s first two female graduates, Diane Michel and Shirley Clements Mewborn. In celebration of Tech’s first female graduates, the 2016 Diversity Symposium theme is “Celebrating Women at Georgia Tech,” and awards will be given to women who are excelling in leadership, collaboration, and innovation.

In light of this year’s theme, select women faculty, staff, and alumnae within the Georgia Tech community will be recognized with the Leadership Excellence Awards at the 2016 Diversity Symposium Reception on Thursday, September 15, 2016.
